Guest comments
Dear Chris/Francine,
The Kingston's would like to thank you for a wonderful holiday. It had apparently poured for a fortnight before
we arrived, and just started to rain as we left to drive home!. But in between we had a week of glorious weather.
Your house was above and beyond all expectations. The children are still talking about it. We swam continuously
and BBQ'd every evening (photo attached) culminating each day with a family pool (snooker) competition. It was
nothing short of bliss. The local wine was wonderful and so cheap. What was even better is that we woke every
morning with clear heads despite the evening before! Needless to say the car returned overloaded!
Once again Thank You so much for a wonderful holiday. I am sure we will contact you again to see if there
a possibility of returning again next year.
Very Many Thanks
Jeremy, Amanda,
Thomas, Edward, William, Cameron, & Elizabeth
"The Kingstons"
